Set along scenic East Road in Shaftsbury, this 5.77-acre parcel offers a beautiful opportunity to create a private Vermont homesite in one of the area’s most appealing rural settings. Approximately one acre has already been cleared to create a generous homesite area, while the balance of the property remains wooded, giving the next owner flexibility to preserve the existing privacy or open additional space for a larger yard, gardens, or outbuildings. Enjoy a year-round view of Equinox Mountain to the north, which should become even more pronounced after the leaves fall. Surrounded by a distinctive mix of historic properties, classic Vermont homesteads, new construction, and grand estates, this location offers a rare blend of quiet country character and high-quality neighboring properties. The parcel is bounded to the north by the former Peter Matteson Tavern, a notable historic property once operated by the Bennington Museum as the Topping Tavern Museum, and is also near Glastenbury Mountain, an area rich in Vermont history and now known for its reforested mountain landscape. The setting is peaceful and rural, yet only approximately 9 miles from Bennington and 6 miles from Arlington, with access via town-maintained roads. Whether envisioned as a tucked-away full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or long-term land investment, this East Road parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and flexibility to shape the property around your own vision. The subdivision map identifies the highlighted parcel being offered for sale. Driveway access and electrical service are to be established directly from East Road. Buyer is encouraged to perform independent due diligence regarding permits, septic, well, utilities, intended use, and other property information.
